Your
Opuzz
Voice Store is a platform
and medium through which you can sell your services and talents. Opuzz
is neither an agent nor a representative of any individual or
group.

Therefore,
you should do your best to ensure that your store showcases positive, accurate
reflections of your abilities and talents. This can be achieved
through
your Audio Demos, descriptions, client list, testimonials,
contribution of articles for credibility etc. We also encourage you
do to your own marketing such as via your existing network of
contacts, email marketing, search engine submissions and industry
directory listings once you have your store up and running. It is these factors
which will determine the amount of work you get.

You
do! You will need to determine your rates when you Submit
to us your details.

Yes. Each
talent is given the freedom to determine fixed rates for his/her service.
We feel that this is fair as more experienced talents can
command higher fees, whilst talents who are just
starting out may not mind getting paid lower fees in return for experience
and exposure.

Therefore, you are free to set your rates at a level that
you feel is fair to you, relative to your experience and ability to
deliver, and fair to your potential customers. Competitive
pricing can also be used as a marketing tool.

We want to offer our customers the ability to quickly short-list and
select talents. Talents who work on a 'quote-only'
basis usually cannot meet the demand of our customers, who require
fairly quick turnaround. Our customers purchase music tracks for their
productions from the Opuzz Music Library, and then would want to
proceed to the Opuzz Voice Stores to hire appropriate talents without
having to wait for replies regarding their rates.

Opuzz collects a nominal fee of 10% of the transaction value. This nominal
fee is used to pay for the expenses incurred by building your store
and maintaining it  its servers, bandwidth etc. - as well as for
marketing efforts.

Opuzz offers its Voice Stores
as a value-added service to its customers who are also interested in
voice-over production, being in this industry. The Opuzz Production
Music Library remains
its primary business and income source. There is no initial
investment required on your side, aside from a little time. Opuzz only gets
paid when you get your business. You are advised to allow for this 10%
payment in your pricing.

You
will receive a periodic invoice and will be
directed to a secure section of the Opuzz store to make your payment
via credit card as per a normal transaction at the store. You are
advised to also keep a record of your work done through your Opuzz
Voice Store. All talents are to make 10% commission payment using our
online payment system only. Other forms of payment are not
accepted.

After
you have submitted all required information and files at the Submission
page, it will take us within 10 working days to build your
store. However, any non-compliance to the Submission Guidelines
will result either in a delay or rejection of submission.

Opuzz is not obligated to respond to why your submission was
rejected.

With
your Opuzz Voice Store, you will have with you a powerful tool for
marketing yourself to a global market and for getting potential
customers to know about your services and talents. Just as with any
other business, it is your responsibility to market yourself well by
investing time and money into sales and marketing channels you see fit. Opuzz
Voice is an un-biased platform for you to sell your services and we
encourage all involved to do their best to succeed!

A nominal fee of $15 will be charged for each occasion after
the initial building of your store. Changes will be made within
5 working
days. You are especially encouraged to update your client list,
testimonials and Demos as you gain more experience and work
that will lend credibility. You may change your content as often
as you like. See Options

Each
talent is allowed only one store.

not. Once you have your store ready, market yourself and
spread the word about your brand new store. We wish you
success in your efforts.
